Billie Eilish is furious at Rolling Stone for leaking her new album’s track list ahead of its release next month.

The Grammy winner excitedly announced that her third studio album, Hit Me Hard And Soft, drops globally on May 17, sharing the happy news in a social media post this morning.

“So crazy to be writing this right now i’m nervyyyyy & exciteddd,” she gushed on Instagram.

Eilish, 22, explained that she and her musical collaborator, producer and brother Finneas “would not be releasing any singles” ahead of the album’s launch date as she “wants fans to hear it in full for the first time that day”.

“Not doing singles i wanna give it to you all at once,” she added. “Finneas and i truly could not be more proud of this album and we absolutely can’t wait for you to hear it. love you love you love you.”

Eilish shared the cover art for her new album, Hit Me Hard And Soft, on Instagram on Tuesday morning.

However, it appears Rolling Stone magazine did not respect her wishes to keep things under wraps until May 17 after they leaked the album’s track list in an online article.

The singer was clearly annoyed at the article, swiftly taking to Instagram to blast the publication.

“F**k Rolling Stone,” she wrote in one, while adding a clown emoji in another Story: “F**k you guys @RollingStone.”

The singer was furious when Rolling Stone released her track list.

Eilish has since deleted her Stories while Rolling Stone has also updated its article, although screenshots of the original article have already done the rounds on Reddit.

Hit Me Hard And Soft marks Eilish’s first full-length album in three years.

She released Happier Than Ever in 2021 and her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? in 2019, both of which topped the charts worldwide.

The original Rolling Stone article is still doing the rounds on Reddit.

A press release issued for the album has announced that Eilish will also make the conscious effort to minimise waste and combat climate change with all physical formats of the album consisting of the same track-listing while using 100 per cent recyclable materials.

Her last album, Happier Than Ever, was reportedly made with recycled vinyl and sugar cane cling-wrap.

Recently, Eilish called out other artists in her industry for being wasteful and producing multiple vinyl editions of their albums to increase sales – a practice she believes is environmentally unsustainable.

“We live in a time where for some reason it’s very important for artists to make a lot of different vinyl of different types because it increases sales and the numbers make more money,” Eilish told Billboard last week.

“I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is. It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right.

“And I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable – and then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making f**king 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more. It’s so wasteful.”
